Biography (As of 07/26/2007):

Jacquelyn Lengfelder is praised for her engaging performances in concert, musicals, opera, and recital. She performed with the Graz Festival Orchestra in Austria singing highlights from Les Contes d’Hoffman. Her performance with the Plano Symphony Orchestra, which “illuminated the stage”, was broadcast on WRR FM in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex on Christmas Day. Her leading roles with the Ohio Light Opera as Risa in Autumn Maneuvers and Juliska in Sari by Kalman can be heard on CDs produced by Albany Records. Other opera roles include Pamina (The Magic Flute) Gretel, Sandman, and Mother in (Hansel and Gretel), Marietta (Naughty Marietta), Fiametta (Bocaccio), Violetta (Der Ziguenerprimas), and Musetta (La Boheme).

A compelling and striking actress, she has often performed in musical theatre with the Dallas Theatre League honoring her with the nomination for Best Actress in a Musical Theatre Production. Jacquelyn’s roles include Lilli/Kate (Kiss Me Kate), Sarah (Guys and Dolls), Fiona (Brigadoon), Mrs. Nordstram (A Little Night Music), and Marian (Music Man). She appeared in the glorious collaboration between the Fort Worth Symphony and Casa Manana in their production of Showboat at Bass Hall in Fort Worth, Texas.

Special distinctions include being named a semi-finalist in the Austrian Meistersinger Competition, and winner of the concerto competition at Northern Illinois University. Her concert work also includes the Mozart Requiem, and Haydn’s Mass in the Time of War. Her concert repertoire extends to Carmina Burana, Messiah, Handel Creation, Mahler Symphony No. 4, and additional works of Bach, Mozart, Schubert, and Vivaldi.

A lover of lieder, Jacquelyn sings the role of Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel in Letters and Lieder, a musical theatre piece weaving Fanny's lieder and piano compositions with letters written by her and her family during her short life. This hour-long work, written by Jacquelyn and Bill Lengfelder, had its first reading recently at Echo Theatre in Dallas, Texas.

Reviews

Kiss Me Kate, Garland Summer Musicals (TX), “Lilli/Kate”, July 30, 2006.

Jacquelyn Lengfelder “gives a pleasurable and entertaining performance. She has a winning soprano voice that sails with charm and ease in such songs as “So In Love,” and “I Am Ashamed That Women Are So Simple.” Lengfelder and (baritone) Davidson do exquisite work with the classic Porter duet, “Wunderbar.” Their voices melt together, creating tasty musical moments for the audience to savor.”

Donald Rosenberg, The Plain Dealer, 7/12/01.

The Music Man, Garland Summer Musicals, June 2000.

“Jacquelyn Lengfelder makes a most appealing Marian the Librarian. She doesn’t overdo the schoolmarmish propriety, so her romantic conversion toward the end seems inevitable. Ms. Lengfelder sings the role sweetly, too.”

Lawson Taitte, Dallas Morning News, 06/14/00.
